    A second addendum, but with WiWa's announcement and mostly positive reaction even from the jaded fans, I feel like the former is now more likely (which I at least hope is the case).

    I will point out that BDSP, the game regarded as the worst overall, fixes most of this and then some.

    Damn right! I am a part of that currently growing audience of fans that grew up with the modern games, it feels like older fans see people like me as worse than "The Mustache Man" just because I prefer the games that are different than the ones they personally grew up with or I have a nuanced...

    Ranking The Switch 1 Pokémon Games By Various Metrics

    You're absolutely based for that. PLA's Battle system sucks, ESPECIALLY the damage calcs.

    A bit of an addendum to this after some thinking and looking back to past fandom behavior. With SwSh Revisionism ongoing, I feel like one of two things will happen regarding how the fanbase views the newer titles: Either The fanbase will revert back to a similar state it was pre-dexit, since...

    As much as I am glad that we are now at the time of Galar Revisionism, I feel that it began a tad bit early. I always thought Legends Z-A and it's hype season would lead to the "3DS Era was peak actually" Revisionism, but I was shocked to see a shift towards SwSh Revisionism even though it...

    Outside of important Trainer Battles, no Pokémon, whether wild or a trainer's, should have Protect, Detect, or any other variation of it in their moveset. It's just annoying as hell and the AI usually spams it or alternates between it or any other move.

    I've said it before that I prefer the 3D models because of the wider variety of animations and I still stand by it. Nostalgia's a hell of a drug.

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Honestly the complaints about the modern games have gotten really... And I mean REALLY nitpicky in recent times. I mean shit like "I can't enter buildings" or even the PNG Windows from Z-A. I've heard someone compare criticizing that to jumping into a pool of fire and then complaing about being...

    What Pokémon Game(s) do you think are Overrated and what do you think are Underrated?

    Self explainitory title. What Pokémon games do you think get too much praise and what Pokémon games do you think don't get enough praise? I'll start Overrated: I have been replaying this recently with Rare Candy and Exp. Share cheats, and while I might have treated it too harshly, I still...

    Here's actually a hot take (not mine) I found on a Metacritic review of HGSS: HGSS is the only bad mainline game. (I do not agree with this) "Its a BAD pokemon game, not only that, but the only pokemon game that is bad, all others are at least ok. But this one is slow, bland, not inovative and...

    I find it ironic that people are bashing Mega Dimensions for being grindy yet glaze Gens 3 and 4 which are just as if not even more grindy if you want the full experience.
